After working as a Software Developer for 14 years now, Scaled Agile / SAFe / Enterprise Agile is the best methodology I have seen if your plan is to burn out your teams as fast as possible.

Combining short sprints with long-term-planning while taking away autonomy from the team is not agile, it is just a lot of unmovable fucking deadlines in short succession.

@javahippie I am a consultant, a prior client was all in on SAFe. We spent 12.5% of our time on SAFe ceremonies. After a time I was tasked to work on two teams, the expectation to spend 25% of my time on ceremonies was an inflection point.
